Kindergarten Graduate  by olivetreeann

Kindergarten Graduate

A lot of my childhood is fuzzy to me. I remember snippets more than great spans of time. I remember my mother playing classical music on the stereo and "dancing like a ballerina" across the dining room and living room which were open to one another. I remember staring at a cradle with a little baby in it (probably my youngest sister) and thinking she was just like a baby doll. I remember eating dinner before Dad got home and looking forward to Saturday when he would make us pancakes for breakfast. I remember the milkman bringing milk to the backdoor! I do not remember the day I graduated from kindergarten, but thankfully someone took my picture! So in honor of my fuzzy memories, I fiddled with the processing on this one.
WOW. IM ABSOLUTELY LOVING WHAT YOU ARE DOING LATELY. THIS IS SO MEMORY EVOKING AND DREAMY, HOPEFUL, ETC.

Isn't it funny how we used to do this with our skirts! Like we wanted to be a fairy or a princess, perhaps! You look so shy and sweet too!

This is very cute. Have enjoyed seeing your vintage photos. Lovely idea. By processing this you made it your own. Love the crisp white dress too.

@neatz Thank you Anita! Most likely the dress was made by my mother. She did all the smocking on the front too.
